Salifert usually have good kits. the drop by drop until colour change I find very easy. Especially when the colour goes from red to blue

When I first started with Saltwater Tanks back in 1985, Kordon made an accurate to the tee test kit it was #1 like Sailfert is today!
IMO I would use Sailfert, there just short of Lamotte Test kits but Lammonte are mostly for Labs. I work for a lab and have daily access to the kits, so Im gonna test the Sailfert against the Lammonte and let everyone know the results after the Holidays.. | |
